FBI Director Kash Patel Turns Over First Batch of Explosive Jan. 6 Pipe Bomb Docs to House Republicans

FBI Director Kash Patel has made good on his promise to restore integrity within the Bureau. Patel has officially turned over explosive documents related to the mysterious pipe bomb incidents on January 6th to House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) and his investigative committee.

Patel’s decisive move responds to Chairman Jordan’s aggressive subpoena from late February, demanding the FBI finally come clean about critical investigations that many conservatives argue have been shrouded in suspicious secrecy by former leadership.

With trust at historic lows following years of controversial actions by Biden administration holdovers, Director Patel’s compliance signals a strong shift towards the transparency conservatives have demanded.

In a detailed letter dated March 7, 2025, the FBI explicitly committed to transparency, declaring, “Under Director Patel’s leadership, the FBI remains committed to working with Congress to ensure transparency and the accountability the American people deserve.

“As a sign of good faith, we are providing this initial production more than a week ahead of the Committee’s subpoena deadline,” Assistant Director Marshall Yates wrote in the letter.

“But this will not be the last production we will send to satisfactorily comply with the Committee’s subpoena. To that end, we are diligently working to completely comply with your subpoenas.”

“Given the diverse and broad subject matters implicated in your requests, the FBI is providing the following initial response, with more documents being identified and prepared for future production in short order.”

Included in this groundbreaking release were key documents labeled as “FBI-HJCI19-PB-000001 through 000030,” which detail the Bureau’s investigation into the still unsolved January 6th pipe bomb mystery.

The letter added:

“Today‘s production contains minimal redactions to protect certain personally identifiable information and law enforcement sensitive information.

The FBI is available to engage with the Committee to address any questions regarding these limited redactions. Please note that this and subsequent productions may contain law enforcement sensitive material, including personally identifiable information, as well as other sensitive information.

As such, although we welcomt providing this material to the Committee, the Department of Justice and FBI do not waive any applicable privilege that might otherwise apply to these documents, especially with respect to any third parties.”

It can be recalled that a report released by the Committee on House Administration Subcommittee on Oversight into the January 6 pipe bomber shows the FBI stopped looking for the suspect in 2021 and covered up the evidence.

The FBI, under Chris Wray’s leadership, refused to cooperate with congressional investigators.

In September, former Secret Service agent Dan Bongino said, according to a whistleblower, after the pipe bombs were found at the RNC and DNC headquarters, “assets on the ground, including a whistleblower, was briefed about the pipe bombs the next day and show a picture of a guy in a hoodie.”

However, according to the whistleblower, the law enforcement agents were told to stand down two days later.

“Nearly four years later, federal law enforcement has yet to identity the individual responsible for planting the pipe bombs, which remains one of the unanswered questions from that day. In the early weeks of the investigation, the FBI took significant investigative steps, identifying multiple persons of interest, issuing search warrants, reviewing hours of security camera footage, and analyzing the components of the pipe bombs. Despite the threat the pipe bombs posed to Congress and the public and the role they played in diverting resources away from the Capitol, federal law enforcement has refused to provide substantive updates to Congress about the status of the investigation,” Rep. Barry Loudermilk’s report stated.

Loudermilk’s report said there has been conflicting information whether the FBI received “corrupted” cellular data from cell carriers.

“There is conflicting information as to whether the FBI received “corrupted” cellular data from the major cell carriers. A former senior FBI official testified that the major cell carrier companies provided “corrupted” cell data to the FBI and suggested that that “corrupted” data may have contained the identity of the pipe bomber; however, in responses to letters from the Subcommittee, the major cell carriers confirmed that they did not provide corrupted data to the FBI and that the FBI never notified them of any issues with accessing the cellular data,” the House report stated.

Also, FBI whistleblower Kyle Seraphin reported in May 2023 that the technicians who worked on the program told him the devices were inoperable.

Kyle Seraphin, former head of FBI surveillance teams, revealed to The Daily Wire that shortly after the events of January 6, 2021, he was briefed at a firehouse in Falls Church, Virginia, about tracking down a person responsible for planting bombs in Washington, D.C.

According to Seraphin, a counterintelligence team had successfully traced the individual’s movements through Metro security footage, identifying the fare card used by the suspect to board a train following the bomb placements. Investigators determined the suspect exited at a Northern Virginia station, where surveillance captured footage of the suspect entering a vehicle. Both the Metro fare card and the vehicle were registered to the same individual—a retired Air Force chief master sergeant working as a security-cleared contractor.

Seraphin’s surveillance team was tasked with closely monitoring the individual’s residence for several days. However, when Seraphin requested approval to directly interview the suspect, the FBI leadership denied the request. Shortly thereafter, the surveillance operation was abruptly canceled, and Seraphin’s team was redirected to pursue low-level investigative leads regarding minor participants in the January 6 incident.
